Autumn’s complexion,

even though ruddy and rough,

has a golden glow.

Autumn’s dash of spice

brightens bland spirits, restores

color to pale cheeks.

                                                                  JDG

Surrounded by gold,

at least for a time, we rest

in fulsome beauty.

Turning leaves – Autumn’s

reassuring wink before

Winter’s cold shoulder.

                                                          JDG

Sun-kissed hills of frost,

watchful trees starting to blush –

Autumn love story.

                                                       JDG

Following the storm,

clear skies and cooler weather –

our first taste of Fall.
